David has brought vision, energy and a ‘can do’ attitude to BOCES and is proving that he is an educational leader in our region. We are excited about the future of career and technical education at BOCES. Under David’s leader- ship BOCES has made strides toward enhancing programming. In addition, BOCES has rebranded and the message is ‘Real Life Learning,’ an improved reflection of the organizations strong career programming. “This rebranding initiative is not merely updating our logo and adding a new tagline for our BO- CES,” added O’Rourke. “It’s a new way of thinking about our businesses and audiences – to provide the best programs and services to our schools, their stu- dents, faculty, staff, administration, and boards of education. The rebranding is an acknowledgement that the way of approaching things in the past is in the past and that BOCES has a new future ahead. As employers we need BOCES to be successful in their efforts to maximize career and technical oriented education and training. For example our health care industry regionally will be looking for over 1,100 people to fill jobs in ambulatory, health care services, hospitals and nursing and residential care fa- cilities.

Health care and manufacturing represent 32% of Chautauqua County’s employment and $1.1 Billion in annual payroll. These are jobs that are critical to the economic future of our community. All of us need to elevate career and technical education as a priority if we going to meet the needs of our health care and manufacturing industry sectors.
